Dazzler

A Dazzler uses The Force to alter light and sound. They can create dazzling flashes, colorful displays or just light the way through the darkness. They can also make themselves invisible and hide things from detection. A Dazzler also masters the manipulation of sound, being able to alter the sound of their own voice, throw their voice, blast out like a megaphone, or be completely silent.

Base Abilities

• Blinding Flash: As an Action, the Dazzler can spend 1 Motivation to create a blinding flash of light. All creatures within 10 squares must make a Resistance check against the Dazzler's Force Rating plus levels in Powerful DZ or become Blinded for 1 Round. While Blinded a character cannot make Line-of-Sight and other creatures have Complete Concealment from them.
• Ventriloquism: As an Action, the Dazzler can spend 1 Motivation to send 1 simple sound, like a voice, to another area within 5 squares. The sound is actually transposed to that physical location and emanates from there.

Ultimate Ability

• LASER Blast [Power / Attack]: As an Action, the Dazzler can spend 3 Motivation to use The Force to create a blast of light energy to strike a target. This attack has a base weapon damage equal to the Force Rating plus the ranks of Powerful DZ. It has an Exotic Weapon Proficiency, which, if learned would allow it to be used with Deftness. This attack will strike every target in a 12 square line.

Powers

• Light: The Dazzler can create light of varying colors across the spectrum.
• Invisibility: The Dazzler can bend light around an object or person, making them invisible.
• Sound: The Dazzler can create sound of varying pitch and frequency.
• Silence: The Dazzler can dissipate sound making an object or person completely silent.

Motivators

The Dazzler uses the Motivators from the Light Side, Dark Side or Grey Side. It also has the following Motivators:

• Sneaky: Whenever the Dazzler uses The Force to avoid detection, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Flashy: Whenever the Dazzler uses The Force to make themselves obvious and stand out, they gain 1 Motivation.

Hit Point Die

The Dazzler gains 1 Hit Point per level.

Talent Tree(s)

• Powerful DZ (x3) : The Dazzler's powers and moves are stronger. The dice pool for Dazzler powers that have magnitude (are physically resisted or have attack dice) increases by 1.
• Tricky DZ (x3) : The Dazzler is able to apply their abilities in subtle and deceptive ways. The default dice pool for powers that use subtlty (effects that deceive the target) increases by 1.
• Sustained Light Bending: Holographic or Invisibility power effects can be extended ten times as long (10 minutes instead of 1 minute).
• Sustained Sound Bending: Sound and Silence power effects can be extended ten times as long (10 minutes instead of 1 minute).
• Quiet Steps: The Dazzler's footsteps are unnaturally quiet. Noise they generate is reduced by 1 die before any Noise Dice are rolled.
• Silent Steps: The Dazzler's movements are all completely silent. Noise they generate is reduced by 2 dice before any Noice Dice are rolled, and they receive an additional +1 Stealth Token when going into Stealth.
• Thunder Wave [Power / Attack]: As an Action the Dazzler spends 2 Motivation and creates a powerful AOE attack centered at a spot within 5 squares. This attack is AOE 3 (all creatures within 3 squares, center square is optional). The Dazzler rolls their Force Rating + Sound Power + (optional ranks in Powerful DZ) as damage. All creatures in the area must make a Resistance check or become Deafened and suffer the damage.
• Vertigo Blast [Finesse / Attack]: As an Action the Dazzler spends 2 Motivation and creates an AOE attack centered at a spot within 5 squares. This attack is AOE 3 (all creatures within 3 squares, center square is optional). The Dazzler rolls their Force Rating + Light power + (optional ranks of Powerful DZ) for the damage. All creatures in the area must make a Resistance check or suffer the damage as Stun damage.
• Invisible Attack [Finesse / Attack]: As a Free Action the Dazzler spends 2 Motivation and makes their weapon invisible. This halves all defenses, save Block, that the target can use, unless the target does not require sight to use these defenses.
• Dissipate [Power / Defense]: As a Reaction, the Dazzler spends 2 Motivation to bend the light of a photonic weapon, such as blasters, lasers or lightsabers, causing their energy to harmlessly dissolve. To accomplish this the Dazzler rolls their Force Rating + Invisibility (+ optional ranks of Powerful DZ) dice pool with levels of the Power DZ talent against the damage dice of the opposing attack, reducing the damage by each Evade.
• Holographic Double[Finesse / Defense]: As a Reaction, the Dazzler spends 2 Motivation to create a holographic double of themselves. This double moves in such a way that their opponents are fooled into striking the hologram instead of the original. The Dazzler rolls their Force Rating + Light popwer + (optional Tricky DZ) against the target's + Perception + Insight (doubled by Prudence if applicable). If they succeed, the enemy targets their holographic double instead. This ability does work on Droids, but they get an additional +1 to see the hologram for what it is.
• Force Power: The Dazzler learns the final Force Power in this set.

Light

The Dazzler is able to create light of any color, including the infrared and ultraviolet. They can also shape this light, bending it into different forms. This allows the Dazzler to create a Small hologram. At higher levels they can even make this hologram appear more real.

To create a hologram the Dazzler must Use an Action or Reaction and spend Motivation. 1 Motivation must be spent for an image of size Medium or smaller. Additional points can be spent to increase the size of the hologram.

Hologram Size Chart

Motivation Spent	hologram Image Size
0	Small
1	Medium
2	Large
4	Huge
8	Gargantuan

After the Motivation have been spent, the Force User then rolls their hologram check (Force Rating + Light Power + optional ranks of Tricky DZ) versus the target's Perception + Insight (doubled if they have the Prudence Virtue). On a success, the creature believes the hologram is real for up to 1 minute. On a critical success, the creature believes it's real permanently. On a failure the creature realizes that it's a hologram. In addition the creature gets an indication that you were the one that created the hologram or a sense of where you are.

This power can be channeled for up to 1 minute. A Dazzler can spend additional Motivation to continue the channeling for 1 minute per Motivation.

This power does work on Droids or biological creatures viewing the situation through a device, such as a video feed, as the Dazzler is creating a real photonic phenomenon.

The Light power can also be used to create light for visibility purposes. The radius of the light generated is based on the number of Hits the Dazzler generates on their Force Rating + Light power + (optional ranks of Powerful DZ).

Light Range Table

Number of Hits	Light Radius	Example Space
0	1 square only	Something in your palm
1	2 square radius	A broom closet
2	4 square radius	A small bedroom
3	8 square radius	A large room
4	16 square radius	A starship hanger
5	32 square radius	A massive cavern

Invisibility

The Dazzler learns how to bend light completely around a person or object. When successful, this power grants the target Invisibility. Invisibility effectively breaks Line-of-Sight to the subject, as well as giving the target Complete Concealment (both Cover and Shadow). The difficulty for turning something invisible is based on its size, as the Dazzler has to expend more effort to bend a larger amount of light.

The dice pool for this roll is based on the Dazzler's Force Rating + Invisibility power + (optional ranks of Tricky DZ).

The Dazzler must spend 1 Motivation and use an Action or Reaction to activate the Invisibility power.

All attacks while Invisible are Surprise Attacks, but the act of Attacking causes the Dazzler or their target to lose Invisibility after the attack.

Invisibility Difficulty Table

Object / Creature Size	Difficulty	Number of Hits
Fine	Very Easy	0
Diminutive	Easy	1
Tiny	Intermediate	2
Small	Challenging	3
Medium	Hard	4
Large	Very Hard	5
Huge	Heroic	6
Gargantuan	Epic	7
Colossal	Legendary	8

This power can be channeled for up to 1 minute. A Dazzler can spend additional Motivation to continue the channeling for 1 minute per Motivation.

This power can be used as a Reaction if the Dazzler spends an additional 1 point of Motivation. This allows them (or their target) to become invisible upon a Potential Detection Event.

This power does work on Droids or biological creatures viewing the situation through a device, such as a video feed, as the Dazzler is really bending light around the target.

Sound

The Dazzler learns how to manipulate sound waves via The Force. This allows them to throw their voice, and to alter it to sound like someone else. They can also increase the volume, allowing them to be heard far away or even selectively over a crowd.

When the Dazzler is attempting a deception using this power, their base roll is Force Rating + Sound adding additional dice equal to ranks in Tricky DZ to the ranks in this power for their dice pool. This is versus the target's Perception + Insight (doubled if they have Prudcence).

If the Dazzler is using the power for volume, they can create a dice pool using Force Rating + Sound plus ranks in the Powerful DZ talent.

To determine how loud the effect is, they add their Motivation spent plus their ranks in Powerful DZ and consult the chart below.

Sound Decibel Chart

Motivation Spent	Illusion Loudness Level
0	A whisper
1	Normal speaking voice or quieter
2	Shouting voice
3	Klaxon alarm
6	A jet engine
7+	Does 1 die of damage for each Hit over 6 to all targets within 6 squares.

Silence

The Dazzler can learn how to create counter-waves to each sound produced by something. This allows them to effectively negate the sound something makes.  This aids in Stealth in two ways:

1. It allows the Dazzler to hide the sounds of their footsteps, eliminating any chance of being heard and effectively canceling Noise Dice they would generate.
2. They can eliminate any sounds that guards make to try to call for help.

For the first effect, the Dazzler composes a dice pool with their Force Rating + Silence power dice and any ranks of Powerful DZ and must get Hits equal to the level of sound they wish to extinguish:

Silencing Loudness Levels

Hits Required	Loudness Level
0	A whisper
1	A twig breaking, footsteps
2	A shouting voice
3	A klaxon alarm
6	A jet engine

The Dazzler can learn Talents which make their footsteps quiet and finally completely silent.

For the second effect, the Dazzler creates a dice pool with their Force Rating + Silence power and any levels of Powerful DZ and rolls this against the target's Resistance. If they get uncanceled Hits, the target is silenced.
